Four questions.

We help our clients answer four kinds of questions. We're rigorously selective about which four, and we take only the engagements where all four matter.

01.

Where to be known for.

The single most undervalued exercise. We help the founder pick a position they're willing to be famous for. Then we keep them honest about it for the next decade.

02.

How to grow without losing the thread.

The years between $5M and $50M of revenue are where most companies forget who they are. We're hired to remember on the founder's behalf.

03.

How to pass it on.

Succession planning is a three-year exercise. We are the ones the founder calls 36 months before they stop being CEO. We make the year before painless.

04.

How to be patient with capital.

When to raise, from whom, at what valuation, and on what terms. We don't broker capital; we help founders understand when they actually need it.

The partners.

Six partners, two cities, no associates. Every engagement is led by one of us. We've worked together for over a decade and intend to work together for the next two.
